MARKING ATTACHMENT FOR SHL'AES.

Application filed December 8, 1921.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, DORA B. De Lanny, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of @klahoma city in the county of Oklahoma and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain Improvements in Marking Attachments for Shears, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

The object of the invention is to provide a suitable marking attachment for shears.

igure 1 of the drawings is a perspective of a pair of shears with the improved attachment in place thereon;

Fig. 2 is a similarview in a difierent direction showing afragment of one blade of the shears with the attachment in place thereon; and

3 is a front elevation of a portion of the attachment, with parts at the ends of the figure in section.

Referring to the several figures, in all of which like characters of reference designate like parts, the shears shown in this instance includes the lower blade 5 and the upper blade 6 which is pivoted to said blade 5 by the usual screw or rivet 7 the rear ends of the blades being formed into the usual handholds 8 and 9, respectively.

The attachment includes a shaft 10 which is mounted above the pivotal point of the shears and projects out laterally on each side thereof, this shaft passing through a supporting bearing 11 which is removably clamped to the upper blade 6 by a screw 12.

A set-screw 13 releasably clamps the shaft 10 in the bearing 11.

()a one end of the shaft 10, preferably the left-hand. end. a hollow disk 141 is pivoted. and this disk is provided with a long hub or sleeve 15 which revolubly embraces said shaft.

A fixed calla 16 on the shaft 10 keeps the disk 1-1 from sl ding toward the shears, and the extreme outer end of the shaft is flanged or swaged inside the disk, as at 17, to keep said disk from sliding off the shaft.

Serial no. 521,080.

A supply ofmarking powder 18 is placed on the cloth orother material as line to accurately indicate the next cutting line.

In order to readily and conveniently supply the disk let with powder 18, the shaft 10 is made tubular and provided at its end opposite the disk with a supply receptacle 20. i i

That portion 21 of the receptacle to which the shaft 10 attachesis removably screw-threaded to the remainder of the re ceptacle to allow the latter to be refilled.

When it is desired to fill the disk let from the receptacle 20, the shears may be lifted up and turned over to the left to bring the shaft 10 toward a vertical position; then, by jarring the shears or the shaft a little the powder 18 will slide down through into the disk. The fol owing is claimed a In combination with the two blades of a shears, a suitable supporting bearing carried by one of the blades of the shears a hollow shaft extending slidably through the hearing, means for locking the shaft against sliding movement in the bearing, a hollow disk pivoted to one end of the shaft and having its interior in communication with the shaft, the disk being adapted to be re volved by contact with the material being sheared and having outlet openings in its edge wall, the opposite: end cfthe shaft carrying a receptacle to contain powder and being so arranged that the powder can be shaken from it through the bore of the shaft to the disk.
